Talk about a purple blooming beauty. The Humdinger Orchid Annie Butterfly Bush begins as green foliage, and blooms in the summer with many large cones of small, purple flowers packed with detail. This bush can be admired in many ways, within the landscaping, as a border piece, or along fencing. It’s relatively compact so it could be reasoned to even plant this shrub within a container as an interesting statement piece.

With an abundance of nectar to provide, this bush is beloved by hummingbirds. Not only does it attract hummingbirds, but it’s also loved by both butterflies and by bees. If you’re a fan of pollinator viewing, this bush is a must add to the garden, perhaps close to the window so it can be enjoyed. It can be planted virtually anywhere with respect to wildlife, as it’s deer resistant as well. 

Humdinger Orchid Annie Butterfly Bush Care

This perennial shrub thrives in hardiness zones five through ten. It prefers full sun, which pairs nicely with its drought tolerant character. Despite being drought tolerant, it would be the most healthy within moist and well drained soil. It’s best, if a long dry period is observed, to give this shrub a nice supplemental drink of water. 

In the early spring, this shrub can be clipped to about a foot long stem before blooming. Bonus blooms can be observed in the Fall if spent blooms are removed. 

Humdinger Orchid Annie Butterfly Bush Spacing

This shrub is compact in nature, and can grow two to three feet high. Due to its mounding nature, and large blooms, it should be spaced three to four feet apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
